  • the body-tilt system 1A is supported on an intermediate bogey 4 so as to form articulated elements.
  • a tilt control device 5 e.g. an actuator
  • the intermediate bogey 4 tilts the vehicle 2 having a supporting end P towards the inside of the curve to compensate for the track having insufficient cant given the increased speed of travel round the curve.
  • a supporting cross-member 6 of the bogey 4 remains parallel to the top supports 7A and 7B of the vehicle 2 while moving up at one end 6A and down at the other end 6B so as to perform tilting. By remaining parallel to the supports 7A and 7B of the vehicle 2, the supporting cross-member 6 of the bogey 4 ensures that the suspension operates properly.
  • the supporting cross-member 6 of the bogey 4 is capable of moving simultaneously in a transverse direction in order to center the vehicle better within the structure clearance gauge of the network.
  • the center of rotation R in tilting is positioned above the center of gravity G of the vehicles, at a height which is very close to the level N of the heads of seated passengers.
  • the supported end S of the vehicle 3 receives a supported ring 8S placed on an articulation 9, with the articulation resting on a supporting cross-member 7 secured to the supporting end P of the vehicle 2.
  • Such rotation is obtained by means of rotation guide elements 10S between the supported ring 8S and the supported end S of the vehicle 3.
  • Such rotation is of use in the event of the tilt control on the bogey failing, and also when passing over ramps of varying cant on entering and leaving curves.
  • the supporting cross-member 7 of the supporting end P of the vehicle 2 rests directly on the secondary suspension 11 of the intermediate bogey 4.
  • the supported ring 8S of the vehicle 3 rests on the articulation 9 via a supported cross-member 14S.
  • FIG. 3 is an end view of a second embodiment of a body-tilt system of the invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a side view of the FIG. 3 body-tilt system.
  • a body-tilt system 1B for a rail vehicle 2 disposed at the end of the body of said rail vehicle 2 and likewise capable of being disposed between two rail vehicles 2, 3.
  • an intermediate bogey 4 top supports 7A and 7B for the vehicle 2, a supported ring 8S, and guide elements 10S for guiding the ring 8S in rotation on the supported end S, and an articulation 9.
  • the body-tilt system 1B rests on the intermediate bogey 4 so as to form articulated elements.
  • the articulation 9 rests on a supporting cross-member 14P of a supporting ring 8P, the supporting ring 8P being associated with the supporting end P of the vehicle 2.
  • the intermediate bogey 4 tilts the vehicle 2 including the supporting end P towards the inside of the curve so as to compensate for the track having insufficient cant, given the increased speed of travel round the curve.
  • a supporting cross-member 15 of the bogey 4 remains parallel to the top supports 7A and 7B of the vehicle 2 while lifting one end 15A and lowering its other end 15B so as to tilt the body. By remaining parallel to the supports 7A and 7B of the vehicle 2, the supporting cross-member 15 of the bogey 4 ensures that the suspension operates properly.
  • the center of rotation R for tilting is positioned above the center of gravity G of the vehicles at a height which is very close to the level N of the heads of seated passengers.
  • the supported end S of the vehicle 3 receives the supported ring 8S placed on the articulation 9 via the supported cross-member 14S of the supported ring 8S.
  • Rotation is possible between the supported ring 8S and the vehicle 3 having the supported end S, and it is also possible between the supporting ring 8P and the vehicle 2 that has the supporting end P so as to allow the vehicles 2 and 3 which are associated with a common intermediate bogey 4 to have different angles of tilt.
  • This rotation is made possible by the fact that guide elements 10S are present for guiding rotation of the supported ring 8S, and also because of the presence of guide elements 10P for guiding the supporting ring 8P in rotation.
  • the guide systems 10S and 10P for guiding the supported ring 8S and the supporting ring 8P respectively in rotation are themselves secured respectively to the supported end S and to the supporting end P of the vehicles 3 and 2, respectively.
  • Such rotation is useful in the event of the tilt control on a bogey failing, and also when travelling over ramps of varying cant when entering and leaving curves.
  • rotation between the supported ring 8S and the supported end S, and also rotation between the supporting ring 8P and the supporting end P in the vertical plane serves to avoid applying twist to the structure of the vehicles 3 and 2.
  • the supporting cross-member 14P of the supporting ring 8P rests directly on the secondary suspensions 11 of the intermediate bogey 4.
  • the supported cross-member 14S of the supported ring 8S rests on the supporting cross-member 14P of the supporting ring 8P via the articulation 9.
  • Tilting of the vehicles 2 and 3 is controlled from within their own structures.
  • the intermediate bogey 4 does not receive any special adaptation for tilting.
  • a first tilting control device 5S at the supported end S of the vehicle 3 can be disposed between the end of the body of the vehicle 3 and the supported ring 8S associated with said vehicle 3.
  • a second control device for controlling tilting at the supporting end 2 of the vehicle 2 can be disposed between the end of the body of the vehicle 2 and the supporting ring 8P associated with said vehicle 2.
  • Each vehicle body thus includes a supported ring 8S, a supporting ring 8P, a first control device 5S, and a second control device, the supported end S including the supported ring 8S and the associated first control device 5S, and the supporting end P including the supporting ring 8P and the associated second control device.
  • the same control instructions (not shown) are applied to both control devices associated with the same vehicle.
  • the vehicle tilts on its two associated rings about a horizontal axis X that passes through the tilting rotation centers R.
  • the tilting rotation centers R of vehicles in the first embodiment and in the second embodiment are preferably situated at the same height.
  • FIG. 5 is a side view of a rail vehicle including a body-tilt system at each end together with a connecting gangway.
  • the supported ring 8S and its system of rotation 10S are strong enough to connect a set of several vehicles.
  • body-tilt system of the invention for a rail vehicle can be implemented on a high speed train, a rail car, an underground railway, or indeed a tramway, or on any vehicle that requires tilting.
  • the body-tilt system is such that its center of rotation is located at a height that makes it possible to avoid reducing the width of existing vehicles.
  • the body-tilt system of the invention increases the "hours of comfort" characteristic of seated travellers because the center of rotation is situated close to the level of the heads of seated passengers.
  • the body-tilt system of the invention does not stress the structure of the vehicle under any circumstances.
  • Each vehicle remains independent from any other vehicle because the end of the structure can rotate in the vertical plane in which it is supported.
